Description:
In their haste to “make EA real”, many Enterprise Architecture groups immediately jump to the work of creating “architectures”. These architectures support critical project design decisions, drive technology investments, and optimize business processes. While delivering value “early and often” to multiple stakeholders is a critical success factor for EA, another value to EA lies in its ability to look “cross-enterprise”. Inattention to enterprise-level strategic business alignment compromises the ability of EA to reach its full potential. Overall EA success requires a balance between short-term and enterprise perspectives. By using a top-down EA approach and creating a business-strategy-driven superstructure, the EA group can have the best of both worlds, extracting short-term value while driving long-term transformation.
